It'd be nice to have an option that was like edit text, but just added this onto the end, automatically putting the line of underscores, your name, and the colon there. That way, we could also be assured that no two people would edit a post a the same time, and one of them would lose what they said.

I also like the way that format developed organically.

But it also is a terribly format for presenting information. I shall refactor it into a real text whenever I come upon it. So don't expect me to increase the usage of it by making it easier to use.
